Can I read Kindle books on the Ipad 2?

I'm not clear as to why you are getting that error, but you certainly can download to the Kindle app. Have you set up the device on your amazon account?

Yes, you can read Kindle books on an iPad. See this for help... http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200298480

I think Apple restricted the app from downloading books directly to the app... they were losing their 30% share.

You have to download them to your computer and then sync them. Not sure of the details though.

You can download directly, but must purchase from the web site (outside of the app).

You should be able to purchase kindle books via the Amazon website on Safari. As long as the Kindle app is linked to your Amazon account you should then be able to go into the Kindle app, click on the Cloud tab on it, and then download your kindle ebooks directly in the app

Understood, just didn't express it well. Thanks.

Just install the Kindle iOS app and log in to your Amazon account:

That's it, you should be able to access and read the Kindle books on any iPad.

1. The OP has already indicated the issue is resolved. downloading the app wasn't the concern
2. The thread is almost two years old.
